Description

This was a two platform station with a goods yard on the west (down) side of the line accessed from the north. Cowdenbeath Pit No 3 was located just to the north of the goods yard. The goods yard is now a car park.

When it opened Cowdenbeath barely existed. The town was developed in connection with the mines and railways that served them.
